Community Sponsorship was discussed at this meeting. A package of requests that
have come in since September 2003 were handed out to everyone. No action has
been taken on these requests because there is a TQM Committee set up that is
looking at the policy of community sponsorship, gifts and donations. TQM was
explained to the group.
The RMLD currently advertise in regular media (local phone books) and can also
do things that are considered Informational/Educational.
The RMLD has a few banners now that we use to advertise. We just displayed one
of the trolleys at the Reading Christmas tree lighting sponsored by the Reading-
North Reading Chamber of Commerce.
Mr. Herlihy was concerned about the process. Mr. Herlihy would like to know the
role of the Public Relations Subcommittee and be involved in the process replying to
requests.
Mr. Hughes gave his input as to what the process should be.
A discussion was held about what types of things could be done It was decided to
talk to the RMLD Board and the Citizens' Advisory Board. Community Relations
will start working on this right away.
It was decided to prepare something for the first Board meeting in January.
